Kedric Golston II: Legacy Georgia football prospect says it is ‘amazing’ being recruited by the Dawgs.
He is indeed the son of Kedric Golston. Golston lettered across four seasons in Athens from 2002 to 2005. What’s that like for Kedric being recruited by his father’s college team?
“It is amazing,” Goslton said, who grew up going to UGA games in Athens with his father and their family.
The elder Golston, a powerful DT, was named a defensive captain at UGA before he headed off to the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick of the Washington Redskins. He played in 142 games across 11 seasons for that franchise.
Georgia is actually recruiting his son at OLB. The 6-foot-2-plus, 235-pound rising senior is a physical football player. Georgia assistant Chidera Uzo-Diribe sees him as an “EDGE” in the UGA scheme.
“They show that they will let me be versatile and play freely,” Golston said.
Golston, who was in town as a recruit for G-Day, has scheduled an official visit for June 13-15. How did that trip go?
“My G-Day visit was really good,” he said. “I got a great feel of UGA and what they have to offer.”
The bonus here in the NIL era is that lifelong family connection to the program. It will help in the transfer portal here. There is also the fact that Georgia’s brand on defense is as good as it gets anywhere in college football.
Here’s another important point: Golston plays well, like a Dawg, on the field.
“My why is just the drive of the game,“ Golston II told DawgNation. ”I feel I cannot live without it because, from as early as I can remember, I was throwing a ball around.”
Short. Sweet. Substantial.
That’s a good way to describe a recent conversation DawgNation had with 3-star legacy 2026 EDGE target Kedric Golston II in Virginia.
“I feel pretty good about UGA,” he told DawgNation recently.
There’s a great deal of fire and energy to his game. Prior to his time at Stone Bridge last fall, he was at Gonzaga in Washington, D.C., for his first two seasons. That school, which sent former 5-star QB Caleb Williams off to college stardom, has one of the top football programs in the DMV area of D.C, Maryland, and Virginia.
